The Lexus IS 350 is a Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD), 5-passenger sedan engineered to perform like a race car. The 3.5-liter, V6, 6 speed paddle-shift sequential automatic transmission pumps out 306 horsepower at 6,400 RPM and 277 lb-ft of torque at 4,800 RPM. Even more impressive is its ability to go from 0 to 60 mph in 5.3 seconds making it the fastest sedan in its class. The aerodynamics was designed specifically to enable the Lexus IS 350 to slice through wind and air with minimal drag allowing it to reach and handle higher speeds with premium ride quality and better fuel economy. With an estimated 21 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway it is by far one of the most economical sports sedans on the market.
Lexus could not settle on just creating a powerful vehicle. The Lexus IS 350 is also a very luxurious car beginning with its muscular beltline, wedge-shaped profile, metallic-finish accents, new wood trim, and one of the most attractive interiors available in the high performance sedan class. Ten sensational exterior colors and six plush interior options are available for this model. The Lexus IS 350 looks exceptional in Golden Almond Metallic or Breakwater Blue Metallic exterior colors. Black Perforated Leather Trim with Auburn Bird’s-Eye Maple Accents and Black Leather Trim with Metallic-Finish Accent are excellent interior color choices. Other colors give a similar effect but these few tend to shine and glimmer that extra little bit.
Lexus is also well known for seeking the best technology available and choosing only the best features for its vehicles. The Lexus IS 350 is packed with technological advances that were designed with the comfort of drivers and passengers in mind. Features like the Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS), Intuitive Parking Assist, Moon roof Dial, and Push-Button Start/Stop were all installed with you in mind. These and many other parts were designed to give you more time of driving enjoyment and less time fussing over buttons or adjusting things in your Lexus IS 350.
Safety was also incorporated into the Lexus IS 350 and once again Lexus did not take any short cuts in that department. To begin with, Lexus gave the IS 350 a reinforced body including side-impact door beams. Four-Sensor Tire Pressure Monitor System, Fog Lamps, Daytime Running Lights, Three-Point Seat Belts, Rain Sensing Wipers are all components that constantly help you even if you are not aware of their importance. Finally, the most important safety devices in the Lexus IS 350 include the Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management (VDIM) which uses sensors to anticipate skids due to slippery conditions before they happen using braking, steering, traction control and vehicle stability all at once in order to adjust accordingly for your ultimate safety. The Lexus IS 350 Pre-Collision System (PCS) is also a very crucial safety element that uses a front-mounted radar to constantly monitor a safe distance and speed between you and the car directly in front of you. Avoiding an accident is not easy and having a little extra help from your Lexus IS 350 can only help under difficult and dangerous conditions.
Power, safety, luxury inside and out, and the highest level of technology available are some of the reasons why the Lexus IS 350 cannot be compared to any other sedan of its class.
